Action for 723 Anderson
[What was with this place? Until Corran was entirely sure, he was keeping his mouth shut on things that weren't exactly public knowledge. You never know when another clone of Iceheart would pop back up and start interrogating people again. Seeing the tricks she tried before, Corran wasn't beyond thinking she would throw him on a technologically backwards world.

Whatever the circumstances, he peered around inside the house and outside, keeping an eye out for bugs and other surveillance devices. All he found was the communication device. Taking a deep breath, he called on some Jedi patience but he had to do it without any force abilities because he was cut off from that for some reason.

What he would do was sit here on this porch and call out to people. Those who answered could answer questions. That was good enough for him.]

Phone
No Whistler: Check.
No Lightsaber: Check.
No Force: Check.
No X-Wing: Triple Check.

I'll have you know that my X-Wing was personal property. If I have to drown whoever stole it in red tape to get it back, I'll do it. While I'm filing the paperwork, it'd be great if you told me where you're hiding the ysalamiri. Nice new trick with those, by the way. I figured someone would start using them sooner or later in mass.

[He holds his hands up.]

Whoa, whoa. I'm about as confused as you are here.

[likeahex]

[There's a pause and then she lowers the gun.]

.....fuck.

You woke up here didn't you.

[donttellmetheodds]

[He turns around, hoping to not die.]

I did. I know this looks bad but no matter what they say, I have a wife. A real wife. One that would murder if something like this situation were real.

[likeahex]

Yeah, and I have a boyfriend. None of this is real.

[And it looks like he's safe as she's putting the gun away. She's not worried about new people.]

Welcome to Mayfield then. Anyone "explain" this place to you yet?

[donttellmetheodds]

[whew]

A squadron mate of mine did on the phone. I've got the basic feel for it.

[likeahex]

Great. There's two drones in the house. The kids. Easy to ignore them, just make sure they get food every once and a while.

I've got weapons around the house for emergency so if see a random gun somewhere, it's there for a reason.

[After putting the gun away. She puts her hand out.]

My name's Tex.

[donttellmetheodds]

Any chance I could make use of those weapons? I may be a flyboy but I used to be part of CorSec so I feel a little at home with weapons.

[He takes her hand.]

Corran Horn.

[likeahex]

Even better. You can help buy some. The town only sells to men here. So I've had to either get some other person to buy them for me, or knock out the drone selling them.

[Take a wild guess which one happens more.]

I've stashed some of the towns one's around the house. Grab one if you want. Just make sure to leave a few. You never know when you might need one here.

[donttellmetheodds]

I'm not exactly too keen on hitting innocent people so money will have to do. What passes for currency around here?

[likeahex]

Well they'll actually sell the shit to you so you have that option.

Bills and coins.

[donttellmetheodds]

Bills and coins? Are they Republic creds, Imperial creds, what?

[likeahex]

Neither. For the last time, we're not anywhere in whatever world you're from. The money is American, circa 1950.

[donttellmetheodds]

Could you repeat that last bit back to me with help files enabled?

[likeahex]

America. Also known as the United States of America. Country on the planet Earth. If you want more go the library, I'm not a text book.

Anyway, the world I'm from isn't like this America anyway.

[donttellmetheodds]

Consider the hint taken.

[likeahex]

Oh good. You're not an idiot.

[donttellmetheodds]

You act a lot like my wife. I'm trained.

[likeahex]

Great.

Anyway, I have to get going to school. I teach gym class there.
